Funky 16 Corners has a downloadable Toussaint mix here , which I declare to be All Killer, No Filler.

As I was going through Toussaint internet song lists after he died I realised that most of them are heinously incomplete. The albums he did with Betty Harris are filled with songs he arranged, produced and played on and none of them make any appearances, and they all seem to be stone cold classics to me.

(the wacky feedback on this one during the drum breaks! AAAGGGGGHGHHHH so awesome)

I also discovered he wrote THIS, which is such a fave of mine:

Also, LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade"? He produced it. The Meters' "Cissy Strut"? That too. You name anything vaguely close to New Orleans since the 60s and he probably had a hand in it. He was the best. I haven't been so sad at a musician's death in forever.

Main street and Vic uni yes.Vic uni show soundcheck was the first time I heard Blue Monday. The final mix had just arrived by courier from the UK and they gave it a hammering over the PA, The performance of it that night was very ordinary, the technology was in its infancy , sequencers kept dropping out. From memory Paul Crowther sorted it out.I'm sure they didn't play ChCh thou.

New Order played Blue Monday on their second Vic Uni show (much better than the first night, featuring a swag of songs from the yet-to-be-released Power, Corruption & Lies LP). The song was so new it was titled 'How does it Feel' on the setlist, which I still have in my proud possession!

While the mix of the new album was playing on the PA after the soundcheck their manager Rob Gretton threatened us (the RadioActive crew) with physical violence if we recorded any of it. Fun times.
